The Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog was developed in Australia in the mid-1800's. The Smithfield, a bob-tailed British droving dog, was crossed with the dingo and later with a blue merle Smooth Collie. The breed was recognized by the Australian National Kennel Council in 1988. The Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog is used for working cattle and it also competes in show and obedience trials.

The description may include a brief statement about the breeder's goals but must also include what is actually on the site, such as pedigrees and kennel history. As well it should have the city, state and country where the breeder is located.
